How to register domain name after recently cancelling from previous host?
-
I just cancelled my domain name from Yahoo! and now want to register it with WordPress. But when I try to register my name, it says its still taken. I have my authorization code as proof of domain ownership. The cancellation was just last week. How do I get my domain name registered if its not being accepted?
I want my blog changed from “.wordpress.com” to “.com” extension.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

And, what is this domain URL please?

When a domain is canceled, it becomes the property of the registrar and is only returned to the public market at their discretion.
If you contact Yahoo, they may be able to recover it for you, otherwise you’ll need to wait for whenever they return it to the public market.

The answer I gave in this thread should help while you wait for the staff @TT has flagged to help

I had to page back in my list of things – I remembered that I had answered the question for another registrar a day or two back – eye strain reading the titles
Good luck with the taxes

I want to sail away forever — not do taxes and get migraines. Have nigh onto a week’s worth of comments waiting for answers on 2 blogs. Will be tackling those very soon.
